Quote of the Day.
Both campaigns are showing how green they are by filling mailboxes with metric tons of ads printed on the pulped carcasses of dead trees. The airwaves are jammed with promises that Barack will heal the sick and the blind, Hillary will get you a gold house and a rocket car, and both of them are promising they’ll not only slash gas prices and punish rich fat cats, but they’ll also get you a great-paying job and your own personal physician to live at your house and fix what ails you for free, Free, FREE!
Tam, from Misunderstanding the concept
Read the whole thing, because she’s bang-on about what the job of President is supposed to be limited to.
And McCain? His only saving grace is he’s not promising you your own personal physician. Like I said, he’s the least objectionable repulsive Democrat in the race.
Quote of the Day.
Obama wants me to believe that a candidate who: (1) was utterly supine and silent for 20 years in his own church as racial hate was propagated by the pastor; (2) who refuses to condemn a prominent supporter and fundraiser for whom bombing American sites is still seen as a good thing, and (3) who has said not a single word on the campaign trail as his party heavyweights removed post-Abramoff earmark reforms… is a candidate who will stand up to Washington interests and change the way business is done. While helping get America past its racial issues, and healing its political divides. That a candidate talking up charter schools as part of the solution, who has received positive ratings from teachers unions for blocking them, is to be taken at face value.
50 bucks for that whole bridge, you say?

Quote of the Day.
Much like Eric Cartman, my hatred for hippies cannot become more intense without physically manifesting itself as a glowing orb which would follow me around occasionally bellowing things like “BRING ME THE HEAD OF ED BEGLEY JUNIOR!” or “MARTIN SHEEN MUST BE PUNISHED IN THE FLAMES OF A THOUSAND POUNDS OF STYROFOAM!” – Stingray from Atomic Nerds post Earth Day: Of COURSE it Pisses Me Off
I Cannot Argue With this Logic…
…and I don’t even drink beer!
From a friend in Europe:
“We in Denmark cannot figure out why you are even bothering to hold an
election.“On one side, you have a bitch who is a lawyer, married to a lawyer, and a
lawyer who is married to a bitch who is a lawyer.“On the other side, you have a true war hero married to a woman with a huge
chest who owns a beer distributorship.“Is there a contest here?”

From Van der Leun:
(T)he Internet makes it drop-dead easy to find at least 30 things that really piss you off before your first cup of coffee cools. I don’t care where you’re coming from, this axiom (15 Minutes Internet = 30 Things That Frost Your Cookies) is universal.
Quote of the Day
Once again by the mistress of snark, that inimitable quipsmith Tam:
Of course, the initial reaction to this is to head for the history section of the library in search of the appropriate “Decline and Fall of Rome” quote. I mean, what could possibly be more decadent than adjusting the tint knob on one’s cornhole? – from Anus niveus, stupor mundi.
That she writes like this at all is enough to engender envy. That she does it at 2:00AM is astounding.
OMG, That is Just So… WRONG!
And yet, so appropriate:

I don’t know where Van Der Leun found it, but I found it there.
Irony, Indeed!

One “Iverglas,” hit the site some time after, I believe, I was ceremoniously kicked off after my own six month stint there – September 3 of 2002 by none other than Skinner, the site administrator. “Iverglas” appears to hate all firearms and anyone who does not hate all firearms, and posts this:
I see no reason for thinking that this post is anything other than the astroturf effort undertaken by the online “gun rights” community to take over discussion at that site:

The original post is dated January 6, 2008, so it took a while for our grassroots to find it, but just damn!
I complained awhile ago about some of our more vocal elements sometimes being a detriment to our cause, but the comments to this post are outstanding, even given the inevitable minor errors. The entire tone is calm, logical, factual, and fierce.
Everybody who commented? Take a bow. You deserve it.
Everybody who linked? You are the difference between Joyce-funded astroturf, and the grassroots from the divots our opponents keep picking out of their teeth.
Ah, irony.
Indeed. Obviously, “Iverglas” has A) no understanding of the word “grassroots,” and B) no understanding of the word “irony.”
Because they just whacked him/her in the mouth.
Heh. How’s that divot taste, Iverglas?
